Nice photos pv83, the chinese fl looks like a sino, saw one at waterford truck show last weekend but they have updated the cab.
Where was the yard with the 2 merc tractor units??
Could be a Sino indeed vwvanman, but my knowledge regarding Chinese lorry makers is quite… erm… non-existent shall we say
The yard with the Merc’s is in Belgium, situated on the N715 between Hechtel and Houthalen, didn’t saw the name though, but it did looked like it was a big-ish firm.
Indeed! A Somua JL 17 with a Cottard cab. Below are two more JL 17s; the first with a very similar Cottard cab; the second with a Terzian cab. First half of the 1950s; 150 bhp engine.
I’d rather say Unics dressed up as Saurers, and fitted with a Saurer 130 bhp engine. The last French Saurers (1958), when they continued to be built in Switzerland until 1982.
